Leading Mongolian models and designers showcased their latest fashions last week during the 18th annual Goyol (“Fashion”) Design show at the Cultural Palace in UB. Over 60 models from 14 different organizations attended the event. Included in the guest list were influential designers from Moscow, Irkutsk, and Buriyat.

During the event, the models also competed for the Top Fashion Model award. As the women paraded in their evening dresses the judges looked on in a meticulous quest to choose only the most qualified model of the year. While the judges deliberated for a short time, they finally announced their decision and awarded twenty-two year-old D. Purevsuren with the honors. Visibly surprised, she could not hide her emotions as she received the plaque that distinguished her as the Top Model for 2006. The Second Top Model Prize went to Ch.Uranbileg, a model from Mongol Model Agency.

Designer N.Otgonzaya’s collection received the “Grand Prix” award for her breathless fashion designs. Her collection was very attractive and audiences welcomed her collection with warm pleasure.

Other awards given that night were; Top National Costume Designer, Top Evening Dress, Top Fashion Agency, Top Head of Fashion Manufacture, Special Prize, Top Photogenic Model and Top Male Model.

The Goyol Fashion Show aims to define the trends of clothing design for the next year, showcasing new design talent and offering the public a chance to see fashion and design up close. The biggest manufacturers of Mongolian leather, sheepskin, wool and cashmere products generally participate in the show, as do fashion and design students. The show also gives the designers the opportunity to demonstrate their skills.
